Feeling family members who have Neurotypical child are saying their children are skilled in many areas, what can your Neurodiverse child do?

NAS75657

Both my family and my husband's family are always saying how the Neurotypical.children in the family can do anything,  they have so many skills and talents.  Apart from.my parents who say my Son is bright very bright and able,  it feels as if all the other members are saying he's Autistic so he can't learn much or do.much,  it will.take him.a long time to learn anything.  it's really making me feel.down

  • Being good at lots of things is ok, but being very good at one or two is better. If you can make a career of the those things you can do well. Do you want to be part of the pack or do you want to stand out.

    A good memory is good for lots of jobs. 

    Attention to detail, patterns and rules, and good memory is how I have made a living. Things like communications, software, quality, need this.

    In a high-tech knowledge economy being able to stand out matters. 

    Also encourage his music ability as an outlet.

    I wouldn't worry. Besides, winning in life can be measured in many ways. Who knows what the future holds.
